[Official] Adirondack Flames Thread (Also some ECHL talk)

[Lunatik]

#1 is quite positive-sounding, indeed. Unless they're really so bad that they can't get any shots from scoring areas, it means it's likely that a decent chunk of their lack of success can be attributed to bad luck.

It could be. I haven't been able to watch any of the games yet due to financial concerns and/or working midnights on game days. So I can't speak on the quality of their chances.

How is Kulak looking so far in his rookie pro season?

How is Kulak looking so far in his rookie pro season?

He looked good in camp for a 20 year old 1st year pro. So far in ADK I haven't seen him play, but statistically it doesn't appear to be the best. 1 point in 5 games and the lowest +/- among the teams blueliners with a -6. Although he did not play in the 7-3 win so that will hurt him in relation to the rest of the team.

I have added some stats to the OP

One thing really stood out to me, that is the fact Michael Ferland is +6 on the year. As I pointed out yesterday the ADK Flames have only scored 10 ES goals, Ferland being a +6 means he has been on on the ice for at least 6 of the 10 goals, that is assuming Ferland hasn't been on the ice for any ES goals against. Ferland is the only plus player of all the forwards and only 1 of 3 overall on the team. I know on it's own +/- is kind of a bunk but to be that far ahead of his team is a good sign and while it doesn't say anything about his defensive play, it definitely tells us that he is not making mistakes that end up in our net.

Looking at the chart, I'd like to see an "Age" column whenever you get a chance. Maybe not age - as it changes and would be tedious to update, but birth year?

I think I could do that, maybe add a "years pro" column too as age can be misleading since college players are generally 2-3 years older

 

[CraigsList]

I want to see Ferland called up, he definitely deserves a shot up here. Would like to see a Ferland - Bouma - Jooris 4th line, maybe sit Bollig a game.

I think Granlund will be called up, Byron will center our 4th.

Bring your dog to a game is actually a quite common promotion in lower leagues. ADK has just taken it a step further by asking people to destroy their dog's confidence by making him/her wear an ugly costume.

There is no possible way that could be a disaster.

I think I watched a Blue Jays game that had that promotion and you could hear yelping and barking throughout the game.
